Judge not that ye be not judged. They wonder why young people don't much go to church anymore. And by young people, I mean college age and young families.

They are afraid mostly of continuing the slide to irrelevancy. People who approve of or participate in gay marriage or gay sex don't spend time "slandering" these, uh, people. In fact, they mostly could care less what they think or believe. That's the worst case scenario. Irrelevancy.

Uh, guys... Erich Bloodaxe BSN Apr 2015 #1
